Ste Martaen

Today is a typical cold and blustery day here in Chicago. The recipe we are sharing with you would make a great meatless menu option for days just like today. This recipe comes from one of the few Chicago vegetarian/vegan food trucks, Ste Martaen. They offer their customers a gourmet vegan cheese alternative along with other menu items.
